Genuinely chuffed — and maybe slightly overwhelmed — by how much love these steampunk memes have been getting!

You’ve turned my odd little hobby into a full-fledged timeline tangle.

So let’s make it official:

What chaos shall we illustrate next?

This creation comes to you out of pure imagination with a little help from some very polite machines.

Facebook, 14th May 2025.

A Victorian man in a top hat sips tea while examining a wall covered in steampunk meme posters, including past hits like “Time Rift? Again?” and “Oh Dear.” The text reads: “Meme investigation ongoing. Suspects: you lot.”

This sepia-toned image, titled “Meme Investigation Ongoing. Suspects: You Lot.”, is both a meta-moment and a tribute to the ever-growing community around your steampunk meme universe.

In the scene, a dignified gentleman — complete with top hat, pince-nez, and teacup — sits in a leather chair, gazing thoughtfully at a wall filled with past meme posters. Among them are familiar favourites like “Time Rift? Again?”, “Oh Dear,” and “Keep Calm and Blame It on Time Travel.” This parody of a detective’s case board reimagines meme creation as a kind of ongoing chrono-conspiracy — with you, the viewer, clearly implicated in the digital mischief.

The humour plays on the trope of the “meme detective” while affectionately acknowledging the audience’s role in the chaos. It’s a fourth-wall-breaking wink that invites further interaction. The caption on Facebook leans into that sentiment, recognising the audience not just as passive viewers but as co-conspirators in an expanding timeline tangle of steampunk absurdity.

By visually referencing earlier memes, this piece also functions as a self-aware milestone — marking the moment when your fictional memeverse begins to loop in on itself. It’s both an inside joke and a call to action: suggest more nonsense. Tea is optional, but strongly encouraged.
